India's top TV yoga expert has challenged a court ruling legalising gay sex in the country - claiming it is a "disease" that can be cured by meditative practices.

"It can be treated like any other congenital defect," Swami Ramdev said in a challenge filed in the Supreme Court.

"Such tendencies can be treated by yoga, pranayama (breathing exercises) and other meditation techniques."

The high court's judgment reversing a colonial-era ban on homosexuality has met with widespread opposition among many religious groups and conservatives.

They say same-sex relationships threaten the fabric of traditional Indian society.

In an interview with the Times of India, Swami Ramdev said homosexuality caused "mental bankruptcy" and was "against God and creation".

Astrologer Suresh Kumar Kaushal has also filed a petition against the high court decision, arguing that if gay sex is legalised, "tomorrow people might seek permission for having sex with animals".
